I work post procedure in a gastro procedure clinic, the handouts we give upon discharge says 30g of fiber per day. The Drs say seeds and nuts are fine as long as you get enough daily fiber, and supplement with benefiber, citrucel, or metamucil.

Hey doc, what’s the most underrated GI health tip/life hack in your opinion?

[barbaragremaud]

I always doubted that advice because seeds and nuts would seem to promote health.

I have had 10years of invasive life saving operations due to ruptured diverticula disease including 2 seperate colostomy bags, two bowel resections, two reversals due to my bowel stricturing down (my surgeon disagreed with a enema xray of the large colon which said i had strictured down to 3mm, i lasted 3 weeks at home in agony before going for emergency surgery) ruptured gallbladder and bile duct removal, pancretitus leading to damage so im diabetic now, plus all my internal female organs removed due to posion and fistulas from the initial rupture. Ive been left with chronic pain and live on laxatives. All the pelvic infection and sepsis has left me with other problems too. Im in the UK and have been told on different occassions that they wont do anything else unless im dying. I have often wondered if they had given me a proper colostomy in the first operation, would i have had to have the years of toture that im still going through. The last op left me in a coma for 10 days and ive now developed complex PTSD. Would America be able to help me?

Do you have a way I can email these to my mom? I don't think she'd figure out to follow you on youtube.

Huh. I had IBS symptoms bad enough to keep me from working. Family doc gave me a long list of veg to stop eating. Instead of eating only meat and junk (what would be left of my diet after eliminating the veggies), I went to an eastern doc. I started yoga, taichi, acupuncture, and prescribed herbal teas that tasted like gym socks. It worked. Now I'm so confused. The woowoo stuff worked?!
